I’m enjoying Linux Mint so far

I’m thinking I may hope around to a distro using a newer kernel but meh

Mint is pretty nice

Edit: My “meh” is because Mint has been super stable for me and I’m not really sure that the effort to switch distros is worth it given that my systems are already rock solid.

Fedora fees like a nice and tightly integrated distro. I’m no apple fan but I can appreciate consistent UX, I feel like Fedora for now is the closest to that level of experience, whilst pioneering in desktop-centric technologies.

I have this looming fear that IBM will somehow fuck everything over someday, but as far as I understand, the Fedora project still operates with the same level of autonomy as they did pre-aquisition.

Tried out Mint, Debian w/ KDE, switched to Debian w/ gnome, now settled into Cachy OS. Only thing I’m wanting for is support for my Dell Canvas touch and totem, but I expect that’ll get pushed to Open Tablet Drivers before long

My distro hoping days are about done. I started with ubuntu -> KDE Neon -> Arch -> Manjaro -> Solus -> Manjaro -> Pop_OS -> Fedora.

I’m sticking with fedora because I love the ideology behind the project and the pace of updates works perfect for me. Not too fast but still very up-to-date. Also I used to hate gnome but after using fedora I love it, I realized I didn’t hate gnome but hated all the clunk other distro would add to it. I am interested in NixOS but for now I’m gonna continue to stick with fedora, might hop to fedora silverblue tho.

Fedora. Super stable, super smooth. Used the thinkpad + fedora combo for over 10 years and will use it for 10 more.

my arch systems have been great for years now. had one breakage that was not my own fault though.

i also have some older thinkpads with endeavor and they’re working great as well.

i would distrohop but i’m too accostomed to the arch repos and aur at this point.

I’m running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

99% happy, once in a blue moon there is a library issue during an update, I have to wait a few days, that’s it.

Very solid KDE experience, all of the things I wanted to do worked out of the box. Very solid.

EndeavourOS. Arch, but easy to install. I’m thrilled with it, although I suspect I’d be even happier if I’d have tried one of the convenience installers for the base. Endeavor is has prettier defaults, so less fussing with basic stuff.

Otherwise, I’m thrilled. I have Artix on my laptop, and while I like not having systemd on it, some things are a bit more kludgey, and I spend more time on maintenance and working to fill gaps. Like, there are not dinit entries for every service, and I have to write them myself; which is absurdly easy, but still. Maybe in a couple years Artix will be less of a chore; in the meantime I’m preferring EndesvorOS.

I do not like the frequency of reboots necessitated by kernel upgrades. I know that I could mask it, but IME that eventually causes problems with packages than make .ko kernel modules; it’s just more things to fail, and it makes me really wish Linus would have just based Linux on MINIX.

Anyway, I have 4 computers I deal with which are Debian based, and I never love Arch more than when I have to do something on Debian. Two are Mint, which are infected with flatpack, and I really hate those.
